Fifty-four nursing students completed the intense studies of the Victoria College Vocational Nursing Program to graduate on December 19 at the Leo J. Welder Center. Three of the new nurses, Cayla Green, Dakota Ratjen and Emily Jones hail from Yorktown.

The graduation was followed by a special Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) pinning ceremony. Symbolizing the hard work and dedication of nursing students toward their studies and clinical experience, the pinning ceremony is a unique and meaningful event for the nursing community.

Understanding the demands of the program, the graduates recognize the sacrifices they made as well as the rewards, particularly the potential for personal and professional growth. The rigorous coursework included studies in anatomy and physiology, microbiology, nutrition, and specializations in neonatal, pediatric, and surgical care.
